As a physical writing device, I find my iPhone the least friendly for typing. For me, the keyboard is relatively unstable using two thumbs, especially on my writing app of choice—Ulysses. When I type, even the slightest thumb miss results in a large cursor movement to the start of the document, resulting in an editing headache. I love Ulysses as my central writing tool, but for me it is nearly impossible to use in landscape mode on my iPhone 13 pro Max.

My workaround? I write on The Drafts app instead, which doesn’t have this problem. (I am writing this post in Drafts.) I can then use the clipboard function to copy my blog post to put on Ulysses or I can directly mail it to my iMac for subsequent placement on WordPress.

Key point: Although it’s nice to have a go-to app for writing (in my case, it’s Ulysses) it’s not always the case that it’s the best app to use on every device.

Be flexible.
